Reading for Pleasure

Research shows that reading for pleasure is more important to a child's educational achievement than their family's wealth or social class. But how to inspire children to get into reading for fun? Having a couple of nice books in the book corner won't necessarily cut it, especially if your students' parents/carers don't have a reading habit. So, here are some ideas which will help you to encourage all your students to become lifelong readers and turn your school into a reading school.

Borrowing books from Resources for Learning is a cost-effective way of ensuring that your pupils have access to a wealth of up to date and relevant materials suitable for all ages and abilities in numbers that mean it is possible to use with the whole class.
